With the purpose of patient comfort and quality care, Dr. Okediji-Registe always holds the highest standards. She achieves the best care for her patients with her skills, judgment, and compassion. Her approach to your treatment starts with listening to you. Then, after a complete and thorough examination, she reviews and discusses the diagnosis and comprehensive treatment options to determine what approach to dental care most interests you and meets your personal needs.
Dr. Okediji-Registe is a member of the American Dental Association®, Chicago Dental Society, and the Illinois State Dental Society.

In the fall of 2021, Dr. Okediji-Registe completed her certification in bite function dentistry.
